Sorry I did not it more specific, but yes. My RAM does have active airflow blowing over it from my CPU cooler. I followed along with Hardware Unboxed's video and left it alone, with the tighter timings, for a few weeks. I soon got bored and decided to try improving my performance again and again. A few BSODs later, and BIOS clears, later I had managed to drop one of the RAM timings by one. tCL 13 does not boot at all and 14 is completely stable, so I moved onto tRCDWR and tRCDRD and so on. I think I still have more room to tightening the timing further. The reason why I am overclocking my CPU and tightening my Timings is because I noticed my GPU utilization rarely hits 95% let alone 100%. A good examples of this is Vermintide 2, the only time I get 100% GPU utilization is when I am staring at a wall, all other times my utilization hovers around 70% to 80%.

@Somerandomtechyboi Sadly my RAM is not Samsung b die, it is Hynix C die. The CPU cooler is almost touching the RAM sticks so "active" cooling is on.

I followed Hardware Unboxed's very helpful video regarding tighter RAM timings on ryzen and used Thaiphoon Burner already. I even managed to tighten the timings even further

Asrock in their infinite wisdom thought it was a great idea to push 1.45v into my 3600 and solely rely on LLC to stop the CPU from exploding. 97 Celsius at stock setting with the stock cooler running at 3.8GHZ all core. OCd to 4.2 all core at 1.15v LLC 3 and got 70 Celsius with the stock cooler. My plan is to fine tweak the voltage if I get a better CPU.

I have a 1440p monitor, it is just in another country at the moment. The 5600 and x don't give enough performance in my opinion to bother with. The 5700x, 5800x3d, and the 5900x are more in line with what I thought would be a great upgrade. I bought my 1080 from a miner and it works great. And I am happy to see the 2nd hand markets as well as retailers having lower prices. The performance gain was minimal at best so instead I turned to undervolting. Went from 180 watts to 125ish watts and I lost about a frame or two.

Hello everyone. So I am sitting with a bit of a problem. This the most powerful PC I have ever had, and I tried overclocking and tightening timings to increase my performance as much as I could. I even debloated and stripped down windows 10 to help achieve better performance. I want to upgrade but I don't know what I should upgrade first. Any advice is appreciated. My current rig: CPU: AMD R5 3600 overclocked to 4.5GHz @ 1.365v. CPU Cooler: Scythe Fuma 2. Motherboard: Asrock B450 Steel Legend. RAM: 2 x 8GB GSkill Ripjaws 3200MHz (With tighter timings and sub timings thanks to the DRAM Calculator). GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 SC2 undervolted to 1911MHZ at 0.925V. PSU: Super Flower 650w 80+ GOLD Case: Phanteks P400A. Peripherals: Keyboard: Corsair K55 Mouse: Logitech G502 Hero Headset: HyperX Cloud Revolver S Monitor: Dell S2421HGF 144Hz with FreeSync. My Performance: Vermintide 2: Average framerate: 126.5 FPS Minimum framerate: 81.8 FPS Maximum framerate: 143.4 FPS <- framerate cap of 144. 1% low framerate: 83.6 FPS 0.1% low framerate: 63.4 FPS Rust: Average framerate: 94.1 FPS Minimum framerate: 40.9 FPS Maximum framerate: 156.9 FPS <- removed framerate cap. 1% low framerate: 52.0 FPS 0.1% low framerate: 2.8 FPS My current RAM timings:

My bad sorry. I accoumulated 4 drives over a few years and buying a new case would be better for me in the long run. My current case is crap so an upgrade is "2 birds with one stone" sort of deal. Thanks.

Thay look nice, thanks. Question: Do you know of the p600s but in ATX?

And hence my dilemma. There are so many PC cases that I am completely lost. Thanks.

I don't want to spend like 200 dollars on a case. The Meshify C only has 2 3.5" harddrives bays. I accoumulated 4 drives over a few years. My current case can only really support 3 harddrives with my 4th laying loosly on top of the other three. Got anything that fit my needs? Thanks.

Hello everyone, So recently I bought a few extra harddrives and I ran out of space in my case so I am looking for a new PC case and I don't know where to even start looking for cases. I need at least 4 harddrive bays with more being preferable, I would like to have a mesh front panel, and I don't have a lot of money so I need something that is afforable but also good quality. Thanks.

One program says 98c while the other says -54c. Are they referring to the same thing?

What is this and why is it running so hot?

Same as above, only the z170 chip-set supports overclocking.
